Weather in Fallout 4 is much different from what we were used to seeing in previous titles from the franchise.
It’s no longer quite as dark or haunting, giving Bethesda a chance to show off their new visual effects and better take advantage of the new hardware at their disposal.
The result is a beautiful game that lets you experience both the serenity of nature and the dangerous scars that nuclear war left on the climate.
Still, for many players this arrangement isn’t to the benefit of the series. For some the game looks too cheery, too colorful – too alive.
It’s supposed to be a post-apocalyptic wasteland, so why wouldn’t it look like one?
What is up guy's in this video I will show you the location of the SCAR-H this mod was made by TheShinyHaxorus thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe. Scars is a member of the Blades in the Boneyard in 2161. 1 Interactions with the player character 1.1 Interactions overview 2 Inventory 3 Appearances Scars was cut from Fallout, replaced with generic Blades' characters.
Whether you belong to one group or the other, I’ve made sure to include something to fit your needs in this list. Let’s get to it!
15. Climate Control
Thanks to user Bowser62, changing the climatic situation of your immediate vicinity is as easy as typing a command into the console.
CcClear for clearer skies or ccRadstorm to bring down the wrath of the heavens upon us – you get the drift. It really doesn’t get any simpler than that.
14. No Green Weathers
And if you’d rather leave a more permanent mark on the world’s climate, consider No Green Weathers by MrTroubleMaker.
This mod simply brings new weather possibilities to areas like the Glowing Sea, Atom Springs or Nuka World, which are usually plagued by the ugly and notoriously dangerous green fog of radiation.
Once installed, you’ll notice these places can now be sunny, rainy, or foggy without any green color. In fact, you can remove the green tint from radiation weather in general.
With this, a summer at the Glowing Sea doesn’t sound like such a bad idea.
13. Calamity Weathers
On the other hand, perhaps you find the Wasteland uncharacteristically cheery for what it’s supposed to represent.
Thinking that games like Metro 2033 or Last Light have a better concept of a post-apocalyptic world, modder Omega2008 replaces the cartoonish vanilla weathers for a darker, more grim climate.
Not only does the weather feel truly menacing and, well, apocalyptic… but the Radstorms actually do hit harder with this mod installed.
If I were you, I’d find cover. Fast.
12. Nuclear Weathers
If you’re a hardcore survivalist and Calamity Weathers just isn’t enough of a challenge for you, then perhaps Nuclear Weathers will do the trick.
This dangerous mod from creator Densalegion adds eight new kinds of storms into the game, including firestorms to burn the fields, acid rain to poison your water and mind storms where the Institute tries to take control of your actions through mind-controlling technology.
11. Wasteland Weather – After Nuclear War
Rather than taking inspiration in other franchises to make the Commonwealth feel more, well, wasted, modder CorenseWolf decided to bring back the charm of old-school Fallout.
What this means is that, rather than the varied and lively weather of the vanilla game, you’ll be seeing a post-apocalyptic brown fog cover the land 97% of the time.
The other 3%? Those are the chances that a Radstorm will hit.
You’ll never see the sun again.
10. Fallout 76 Weather
On the other side of the cheery spectrum, we have Fallout 76 Weather, which aims to – you guessed it – bring Fallout 76’s weather to the Commonwealth.
Modder Masshep simply turned up the contrast a bit and tweaked color correction to make the game look lush and alive.
They also made sure to increase the probability of nice weather, and the rest of the time you’re unlikely to be hit by anything worse than a light fog.
9. Apocalyptic Weather
We’ve gone through Calamity Weather, Nuclear Weather, Wasteland Weather… there’s clearly something wrong with having decent weather in a Fallout game, if modders are any measurement.
Apocalyptic Weather by AtomicFailure attempts to do the same as all of these mods, which is making the Commonwealth look more polluted and treacherous than ever before.
Other than tweaking the vanilla weather types and adding a couple more to make the Wasteland cruel and unforgiving, this mod makes nights considerably darker and improves interior lighting as well.
So you can be more immersed while cowering in fear indoors.
8. Polluted Climate
Despite science telling us that over 200 years after the bombs fell, the world would look prettier than ever, efforts endure to worsen the Commonwealth’s living conditions.
However modder MandragoraSprouts has taken a much more subtle approach, adding some fog here and there as well as clouds of dust and overall reduced contrast to make colors less vibrant.
Of course, they couldn’t stop at that.
So Radstorms are also more frequent now, and those accompanied by radioactive rain and dust will deal much more damage than the regular kind.
7. Polluted Climate – Winter Edition
As a companion piece to the original Polluted Climate, anyone who liked it should also try the Winter Edition.
This mod does the same as its predecessor, but it tweaks and adds some things to make it work with the snowy weather you’d expect from Winter.
It was made to go with the Icepick Overhaul mod, but it’ll work with anything that adds snowy textures to the landscape.
6. Morose – Psychological Horror Overhaul
One of the most exciting mods I got a chance to review for this list was Morose, a Psychological Horror Overhaul for Fallout 4 by creator Thumblesteen.
Not only does it tweak the weather and lighting to bring you a more intense and oppressive experience Fallout, but it also replaces most of your soundtrack with a new one meant to induce fear, anxiety, and the feeling of serene isolation.
Fun!
What makes this mod so interesting and real is how the author draws from their own experiences with anxiety and depression and shares it with others through this mod.
5. Simply Better Weather II
In contrast with the complex aspirations of the previous mod, Simply Better Weather II might come off as a bit basic, and maybe it is.
Still, making the entire Commonwealth look and feel like a Summer vacation in Buenos Aires is no small feat. No clouds, no fog, no dirty water – nothing.
Not even in Far Harbor!
It may not feel like much, but this mod really changes the gaming experience greatly. And it may even give you better performance due to loading fewer effects.
4. Unified Commonwealth Weather
On the other hand, if what you want isn’t to stabilize the Commonwealth’s weather but to make it more vicious and unpredictable, Unified Commonwealth Weather might be what you’re looking for.
This mod by user HomicidalGrouse will allow the special weather types present in Far Harbor and Nuka World to appear anywhere else on the map as well, with varying chances depending on the region.
What sets this apart from many similar mods promising more varied weather is that it only uses vanilla assets, and therefore doesn’t alter the overall style of the game.
3. Vivid Weathers – Fallout 4 Edition
The same can’t be said of Vivid Weather, a mod ported from The Elder Scrolls V that adds a grand total of 75 new weather events to Fallout 4.
That said, NexusMods user Mangaclub assures us it’s all lore-friendly. Even if the overall feel of the Wasteland is completely changed.
This is partly due to the mod improving general image quality with some tweaks, as well as replacing the cloud textures for more diverse ones.
Unlike other weather-changing mods, this one also includes a new player home and a complete questline explaining the backstory behind these changes.
2. True Storms – Wasteland Edition
If what you’re looking for is an intense weather mod that makes you remember why “shelter” is so high up on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, then True Storms is the thing you’re looking for.
Thunder, rain, and all other weather events have been entirely redone by modder FadingSignal. He hasn’t only intensified the vanilla weather but added other unique and intense possibilities.
Most weathers now employ new particle geometry meant to make them feel more treacherous, and heavy dust storms or blinding fog are just some examples of what to expect.
1. NAC – Natural and Atmospheric Commonwealth
If any other mod claimed to be “the most advanced” and complete weather, lighting, and visual overhaul Fallout 4 has seen to date, I’d doubt it immediately.
But after taking a look at Looping’s work on NAC, I have no reason to doubt it.
This mod is easily among the most in-depth overhauls I’ve ever seen, introducing over 500 random weather events as well as tweaking visual effects and lighting to better complement these new meteorological possibilities.
Among the best bits about this mod is how easy it is to control – all done from your PipBoy, down to the visual effects.
Add to that the fact that it loads different weather presets depending on the in-game date to simulate the passing of seasons, and you can understand why I think this is easily the best weather mod in Fallout 4.

The year is 2287CE. You’re the Sole Survivor of your malfunctioning nuke-proof vault, crawling out of the underground and into the deserted Wasteland that is the Commonwealth. And there’s only one thing in your mind other than the fate of your kidnapped son:
Where are my weapons?
Because what is a post-apocalyptic Wasteland without its weapons? Isn’t it the entire point?
There would be no apocalypse without weapons, and the world would have been rebuilt by now had we focused our resources on something else.
Still, even after entire playthroughs of Fallout 4 some people are never satisfied with their arsenal.
I mean it was enough to take on the entire Institute and the occasional deathclaw, but what if there’s more?
Thanks to modding your search for the perfect weapon never needs to end. You just need to look somewhere else.
Allow me to walk you through some of the best armament options with these awesome (and free!) weapon mods you can add onto Fallout 4.
25. Alien Assault Rifle
You thought we’d left Area 51 empty-handed? Well, think again.
Thanks to modder Henkspamadres, all of that Naruto-running and acquired notoriety wasn’t for naught.
It adds an exotic-looking, glowing weapon with the versatility to become an SMG, AR, shotgun or, of course, a beam rifle.
These aliens really have us beat in the weapon department.
Not only is it cool and colorful, but relatively lore-friendly, and if you like it, you can get custom animations for it through the Alien Assault Rifle Animations mod.
24. Thorn – Wishes of Sorrow
Also alien in origin but from a galaxy as-of-yet undiscovered comes the Thorn, an iconic handgun from Destiny’s universe.
This mod by Lucifer3277 adds a fully-functional alien-fantasy hand cannon to your game, complete with animated textures resembling something a modern warlock would make.
Regrettably it doesn’t fire beams or anything of the sort – it’s simply a .45 cal revolver.
Unlike in Destiny, there’s no need to grind a raid for this to drop. Just get it From Criket, or use console commands to add it to your inventory.
23. M2216 Standalone Assault Rifle
In the Fallout universe, the Vietnam War never actually happened. So the M16 we’ve all come to know and love was also never introduced to the world’s weapon markets.
Thanks to modder FF7CloudStrife, however, you can now get one in Fallout 4.
It features full modding support including several scopes, has custom animations, and fires 5.56 caliber ammunition.
Not only does it have an amazing aesthetic recognizable by anyone who’s been playing shooting games for a while, but it’s also slightly better than the game’s standard assault rifle, giving you a noticeable but balanced advantage in battle.
22. M32 Sig Sauer P220
And if you have such a compact, modern-looking main weapon, consider backing it up with the Sig P220 handgun by modder Millenia.
This very tactical-looking weapon will make you feel less like a deranged psychopath turning the world upside down to find their kid and more like a serious, well-trained special operative, which can considerably improve your experience once you’re done with the base story.
It’s very modifiable in-game, features custom sounds, and even includes a unique variant called the “Diplomat” that you can only acquire at a certain spot in the game.
21. The Widow Shotgun
Sometimes, rather than going to the future for more effective weaponry, it’s better to visit the past looking for something special.
That’s what modder Corvalho1 did for us, bringing back a beautiful sawn-off shotgun with a double-barrel, complete with intricate engravings that adorn the weapon and complete the antique look.
It’s what a fabled bandit from somewhere near the late 1800s would use, and despite being so old-school, I guarantee it packs enough of a punch to keep you safe in the Wasteland.
20. Left Boxing Glove
And if rather than feeling safe you’d rather experience true adrenaline, consider ditching gunpowder altogether and taking up mixed martial arts.
Although the Fallout society had previously only developed right-handed boxing gloves, modder LilKandeeKid has elevated the sport by introducing a left-handed version.
Armed with both, you’re now ready to box deathclaws to… death?
19. Modular Simonov PTRS-41 Anti-Tank Rifle
Power Armors are the tanks of the Fallout universe, protecting the wearer and turning them into a walking battle station… and it’s not always you that’s operating the thing.
Sure, you can always drop a mini-nuke on them, but firing one indoors or from cover may prove more dangerous than the Power Armor itself.
Well, worry not, for modder MJP2008 has brought us a means to fight back with the Simonov PTRS-41 Anti-Tank Rifle, and the Type 76 Chinese Anti-Power Armor Rifle, all included in the same mod.
As an added bonus, the mod also includes a can opener you can use as a melee weapon.
Given enough time I’m sure you could also pry a hole open in a Power Armor.
18. Mosin Nagant
But for me, sniper rifles have always been about stealth. Always allowing you to deliver a killing blow before your enemies even know you’re there.
That’s what the Mosin Nagant sniper rifle was originally designed to do back in the late Russian Empire days, and what it was used for throughout the early Soviet Union era.
Nowadays, it’s more often than not simply seen as an old-timey videogame classic, and thanks to NexusMods user FX0x01, you can now add it to your Sole Survivor’s arsenal – complete with scopes and a bayonet for a more authentic experience.
17. AK74M Assault Rifle
Speaking of videogame classics, few weapons are as well-known and appreciated as the AK74, in all of its variations.
For this very reason, it would be silly not to feature it in our Fallout 4 Weapon Mods ranking.
This add-on was also created by FX0x01, which is actually a group of several modders working on different parts of the weapons they release, allowing them to create truly detailed contributions to our collective arsenal.
The wonders of specialization.
16. FN FAL SA58
Another favorite of oppressive regimes worldwide that modders have been kind enough to develop for Fallout 4 is the FN FAL SA58.
This mod by Wanamingo doesn’t only introduce the weapon, but also comes packed with a Kukri knife and some military uniforms for you to role-play a one-man African militia trying to take control of the Commonwealth.
If that’s a little bit too specific for you, don’t worry.
This mod also includes a brand new endgame dungeon for you to go and try out your Belgian assault rifle.
That’s what I call top-notch service.
15. Wattz Laser Gun
Despite Fallout 4 having its own wealthy variety of retro-futuristic weapons such as the Fat Man, it doesn’t give you access to every weapon created in the couple of centuries that passed since the bombs dropped.
Working towards solving this issue, creator DeadPool2099 introduced the Wattz 3000, a lore-friendly weapon design complete with custom animations, models and textures so good you’d think it was always in the game.
The Wattz 3000 is an updated model of the old-school Wattz 2000 present in the first two Fallout games, and its design is almost completely based on that weapon.
You can paint it however you want, but I think it looks the best with the default black and yellow look.
14. See-Through Scopes
One of the most loved mods by both users and creators on the Nexus is See-Through Scopes by Henkspamadres, which simply replaces the awful full-screen aiming when using a sniper scope in vanilla for something a bit more organic that also lets you see your surroundings.
It’s needed for most weapon mods featuring custom scopes. But considering it also adds customizable reticles and an optional blur effect when aiming, it’d be well worth it to add it to your game for an improved vanilla experience.
13. M9 Standalone Pistol
Among the most ubiquitous weapons ever known to gamer-kind is the Beretta M9 Self-loading Pistol, which owes its popularity to having been the standard sidearm for the US Navy and police forces for a long time.
Despite being in service only since 1985, it’s now available thanks to the intervention of modder FF7CloudStrife.
This true American classic is capable of both semi-automatic and fully-automatic fire with the right modifications, and also features a great variety of barrels and grips to choose from.
12. Insanity’s Celtic Katana
Stark contrasts often come together to create truly unique aesthetics. Like a character wielding a Katana in post-apocalyptic Boston, for example.
Whether that’s more or less absurd than a Katana with Celtic motifs is anyone’s guess.
Not only do you have a new weapon to terrorize your enemies with, but you’ll look honorable and dignified while doing it.
11. Fusion Gun
If you’d rather stay closer to the aesthetic and fictional time-period of Fallout 4 but still want something entirely new to torment raiders everywhere, consider the Fusion Gun by modder FalloutSuite.
This mod adds an entirely new and detailed energy weapon with its own ammo type and over a dozen weapon attachments to keep things interesting.
Not only is it devastating to wield, but it also looks badass in the way only a weapon with heat-dispersion mechanisms can achieve.
10. HK G3 Family
Something really nice about Fallout 4 is the level of control you have over your weapons, and how much you can customize them to fit your needs.
The HK G3 Family mod by creator Utherien takes advantage of this system to introduce the Heckler & Koch G3 assault rifle along with many customization options that take the G3’s main body as a base to build the HK-51 SMG, the PSG-1 Sniper Rifle and the HK-11 LMG, all balanced for normal gameplay.
There’s something for everyone in this mod.
9. SCAR-H
If there’s one thing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 fans ever agreed upon, it was the superiority of the SCAR-H assault rifle in the game’s multiplayer.
Since then, the weapon has become popular in gaming as a whole, and now it’s available in Fallout 4 thanks to modder Robersonb1.
It looks clean, it’s reliable, and it comes complete with mods, custom sounds and, of course, custom animations that make it look right at home in the game’s engine.
It’s also possible to turn it into what’s essentially a SCAR-L by changing its ammo type from .308 to 5.56.
8. Gatling Rifle
Sometimes, it’s all about the impact of your weapon rather than sheer destructive power, and nothing will instill fear into your enemies’ hearts quite as this Gatling Rifle from modder Henkspamadre.
The M54 Gatling Rifle is the only thing in the Wasteland that can make you look more badass than a deathclaw, as well as more… alive, after some fire from this beast.
Just make sure you have enough bullets because this will have eaten through an average raid’s worth of ammo before the cannon even gets hot.
7. FN P90
Used by many armies worldwide ever since the 1990s and currently employed by the US Secret Service, the Belgian FN P90 has earned a place in the collective imaginary thanks to its sleek bullpup design.
This sets it apart from most weapons usually shown in entertainment.
Modder Robesonb1 has brought this compact design to the world of Fallout 4, giving players the perfect weapon for inner-vault and urban situations, complete with custom animations, sounds, and high-quality textures.
It was designed as a replacement for the game’s default SMG, so it doesn’t initially fire 10mm rounds like its real-life counterpart, but if you’re particular about realism, you can change its ammo type easily at a workbench.
6. M14 Standalone Rifle
Continuing on our quest to outfit Fallout 4 with every weapon that’s become even remotely relevant in videogame culture in the last 10 years, we’re taking a look at the M14 Standalone Rifle mod by FF7CloudStrife.
This mod introduces the iconic rifle in four different variations, going from an old-school olive green presentation with a sniper scope to one with a vicious bayonet that looks more like a harpoon gun than a rifle.
No matter which one you choose, you’ll have a stunningly-designed weapon in your hands.
5. Wasteland Ballistics
Have you ever thought that the way Fallout 4 handles ballistics is too… basic?
Modder Hedieded definitely did, and his answer was to create a more complex and realistic ballistics system for the Wasteland.
The effective range of weapons now plays a vital part in choosing the right tool for the right situation, as bullets now deal damage and wound targets differently depending on the caliber, shape, and mass of their IRL counterparts.
4. Weapon Balance Overhaul
While some players find the effective ranges of weapons in Fallout 4 too forgiving, others feel like some weapons are simply too underpowered to remain grounded in reality.
To address this issue, modder Vazeron1 came up with a rebalance patch that tweaks all weapons for a more realistic experience.
Fallout 4 Immersive Facial Animations
No weapon will be completely useless against enemies anymore, even if there’s still a vast power differentiation between them.
Moreover, weapon types now have more contrasting strengths and weaknesses, justifying using something other than the Combat Rifle if the situation calls for it.
3. Lightsaber Renew
You can add hundreds of new, increasingly more detailed reproductions of IRL weapons into Fallout 4, but they’ll always pale in comparison to a Lightsaber.
This mod by Invalidfate includes four different Lightsabers varying in color and weapon equip animation, all of which actually emit light and can cast shadows.
Fallout 4 Cbbe Body Mod
While this is the only weapon-focused one, the author also offers much more Star Wars content. Such as a Darth Vader character preset which would wonderfully complement these Lightsabers.
2. Weaponsmith Extended
And while I do appreciate that I can find essentially any specific weapon in the Nexus to equip my Sole Survivor with, I’d rather not spend that much time building my perfect arsenal.
Thanks to user Gambit77 and several other modders, overhauling the weapon variety of Fallout 4 can be as simple as installing a single mod – Weaponsmith Extended.
This massive collection of diverse, high-quality weapons with custom animations and sounds will make it so that you never even have to worry about having new weapons to discover.
1. Doombased Weapons Pack
Among the different available weapon packs in the Nexus, there’s one that both I and the community have come to recognize as the best.
This pack features every new high-quality weapon uploaded by creator Doombased, all of which were previously released separately to great success.
These 16 weapons go from the most unique guns available in Fallout 4, such as 3-barreled shotguns, to well-loved classics like the MAC11 or a beautifully engraved Desert Eagle.
Quite a compliment to the existing in-game arsenal, wouldn’t you say?
Install this and you probably won’t need to come back looking for weapons in a long time.
